Brake Pad Thread [Merged]

[Flipo]

I recommend you using NISSIN brand made in Japan brake pads as they are OEM supplier of brake parts to HONDA but if you compare prices vs HONDA Genuine brake pads vs. NISSIN brake pads of course it is cheaper by a ton. You can buy this pads from Kab Automize in Pasig and 20th Century Valenzuela.

Boss, have you heard about Nihon Brake Pad?

A supplier is selling it at Suzuki Ertiga FB.

After 6.5 years and 115400 kms later, I decided to replace the front brake pads of our Vios. Was surprised that the old pads still had a bit of decent brake material (thickness) on them. But I'm beginning to feel the depth of travel on the brake pedal.

So in goes a set of Bendix CF brake pads. OK naman ..

Bendix - 850/set
OE Toyota - 4500/set

Your Vios is A/T right? 115,000kms for the first set of pads? Do you even brake?

I usually reach around 50,000 to 60,000 kms on my set.

Haha, yes I do.

I was quite amazed myself on the "longevity" of the orig pads. Is Akebono, OE for Toyota?

Hence my initial plan to buy OE, but was off-put by the prohibitive price.

That's CASA price? In Banawe OE should be around 2K to 3K siguro.

We use Bendix General CTs on the Vios and they get the job done.

Heck, family vehicles that are driver driven burn through brake pads in less than 30,000kms.

Nope, that was either Gant or Toyosco price (Pasay), can't remember which.

Casa is 6k-ish ... I asked over the counter at Toyota Bel-Air yesterday ..

Sorry never heard of any Nihon brake ever. I think this is some brand that is using a Japanese name but not a Japanese brand, if it is a yellow & red combination box packaging then sorry to say this is an Indonesian low quality brake pads that uses Japan in Japanese as "Nihon" as its brand.

Yes Akebono is OE to Toyota, as well as other major manufacturers.

The difference between Genuine Toyota brakes and Bendix is that the Toyota one doesn't eat thru your rotors as fast as Bendix, while retaining good braking performance. Also genuine Toyota isn't noisy like Bendix. Also genuine last longer than Bendix replacement pads but if of course it goes down to the driver's way of driving if todo tapak sa gas then malakas din tapak sa brakes then of course kahit anong well known brand pa gamitin mo mauubos at mauubos kagad ang brake pads.

The only con of genuine parts are they are as expensive as hell.

After 1000+ mixed Km I can say that EBC Greenstuff is noisier and has less bite than Nissan OEM. A lot more brake dust too. Similar to Hyundai OEM dust levels.

Disappointing. Should've gone Yellowstuff or OEM.

I know the G-Brake brand, actually this is a private house brand made by a Japanese company this brand was made just to compete with Bendix level GCT actually they are poor quality brake pads and cheaper as the wholesale company who made G-Brake brand is just buying the products in China and Taiwan factories that is why makikita mo palang in actual person na pati yung carton packaging is poor also.
If you see may reviews about G Brake in Russia were people complain about the workmanship and the quality of the compound of the disc brake pads. Also they are cheaper in price vs Bendix.

You may see them in some Shell service centers the reason is because G-Brake is being sold by the same distributor company that sells the infamous low quality VIC filter, this company is selling directly to Shell service centers and auto supplies. You may also notice that G-Brake is just a newly created brand in the market just like how the private company brands like the Circuit, Maruzen, Fast1, Kendo, New Tokico, New Toyo, NEC-Japan, Nesinbo, Yasika, and so much more super cheap low quality parts.

So far sa Pasig and Valenzuela lang meron kasi yung auto shop dun ay purely Honda kay Kab Automize sa Pasig, sa Valenzuela yung 2th Century may capability magbenta ng OE products. Yung ibang shop doesn't carry Nissin since base sa two dealers kaya nila ibenta dahil may customers sila na Honda fanboys kahit na 20-30% mas mahal sa Bendix binibili parin ng die hard Honda people.

I travelled fully loaded almost 600 kms to and fro our holiday destination last month during the long weekend and the project mu + oem combo heldup pretty good in long straightaways, mountain passes, and on roads you can barely call roads

With so many closecalls during that trip (tricycles suddenly emerging, reckless fuel trucks, etc), it proved to me and my passengers that brakepads are not areas for scrimping

My issues with Bendix brake pads is that if you compare them side by side with the OEM counterpart, their friction material ( the pad itself) is narrower such that it doest cover the whole brake rotor surface area that is covered by the OEM. While its true that it does not compromise braking power, it however, invites unwanted rusting (& sometimes pitting) on the rotor surface area not covered by the pad... The metal kings in particular, "eat" the covered area deeper leaving the uncovered area untouched resulting in uneven wear of the rotor. Depending on how deep the gouging is, some needs refacing when changing to a new pad...
Talking from first hand experience ....

which shops sell Advics brand?
